Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. Offers Chiropractic Care for Headache Relief
Auburn headache. It is a condition many people experience. Cervicogenic and tension-type headaches are two of the more often talked about types. The cervicogenic headache is associated with issues with the cervical disc, facets, and joints. The tension-type headache is related to the muscles of the neck caused by stress or odd head positioning. Both headache types are responsive to gentle, safe stretching type treatment like Cox® Technic used at Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C..
SOURCE OF TENSION-TYPE HEADACHE: Neck Muscle, Stress, Position
Tension type headache is noted as the second most common health concern globally. A recent review of published papers for its care found that manual joint mobilization techniques, supervised physical therapy, acupuncture, psychological care, and patient education were as beneficial for reducing headache frequency, enhancing quality of life, reducing pain intensity, and lowering stress symptoms.

SOURCE OF HEADACHE: Cervical Joint
Auburn chiropractic patients want to know why they have a headache. A recent study described how researchers utilized diagnostic block testing to pinpoint the cervical spine joint source of the headache. In general, the C2-3 level was the most frequent source. In patients whose dominant complaint was headache more than neck pain, the C2-3 was the source for 62%, C1-2 for 7%, and C3-4 for 6%. In patients whose neck pain was worse than the headache, C2-3 was the source for 42%, lower cervical joints for 18%, and C3-4 for 7%. (2) Not that every Auburn headache patient must undergo this type of procedure to be helped, but the results were enlightening for healthcare providers to aid diagnose and set up a treatment plan for headache patients in a better way.
MANUAL TREATMENT FOR HEADACHE
In a review of published clinical trials, researchers noted that spinal manipulation was applied frequently to manage cervicogenic headache. Spinal manipulation was effective, provided superior, small, short term benefits for reducing pain, headache frequency, and related disability compared with other manual treatment. (3) One relieving treatment called SNAGs (sustained natural apophyseal glides) has been explained in the medical literature. In a placebo vs SNAG study, researchers explained how SNAGs were good for pain reduction and neck disability drop as well as range of motion improvement for women with cervicogenic headache. (4) Manual therapy approaches like this help headache.
